Flareon EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $2,992, raw the card sits at $85.04 — 35,2× as much. Of 821 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 18 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $246.43 on average, before fees and shipping. Rule of thumb: submit when the value at a realistic grade is at least double the raw value — which is the case here. Centering decides it: an off-centre card will not get a 10. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 88 auctions the median was $56.18, across 150 fixed-price sales $57.99. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $41.66 and $66.32, with a median of $52.58. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

The cheapest genuine sales were around $34.57. Offers well below $20.74 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

From real sales: German $50.64 (12), English $49.49 (241), French $39.79 (12). German fetches about 27 % more.

lastsold uses only real sales — eBay plus auction houses like Goldin & Fanatics — recent sales count more (recency weighting), outliers and fakes are removed. It's not an estimate but actual sold prices, separated by condition, language and grading.
